157: It's Snowing

It's Snowing

Putting on her scarf and hat, she went out to buy breakfast. She had overslept the previous night, so she didn't know whether Yi Ling was the same as her as they hadn't eaten anything since they came back.1

She wrapped herself tightly in warm clothes, then she went out and put the scarf down on her neck. She looked up at electronic sign indicating which floor the elevator was on, it seemed that it had stopped at level twenty-something. She was impatient and thus she went down two flights of stairs. The elevator moved when she was coming down, so she stood waiting in front of the elevator again. At the same time, there was a man standing beside her. 

She was stunned for a moment and stole a glance at the man in uniform. He lowered his head and looked down at her, the coldness crept over his eyebrows that were frowned tightly.

Yan Huan might have been afraid in the past, but she wasn't afraid anymore as they didn't have a benefit-based relationship, she didn't offend him, and they were strangers.

What a coincidence! She met him again.

She would not admit that she was just thinking about whether she would run into him.

The elevator reached their level, she walked in and so did the man. She stood at the corner and stole a glance at him from time to time, but she averted her eyes quickly.

The man strode forward when the elevator doors opened.

For the moment, cold wind was blowing and she felt a bit chilly.

When she came out, the ground was covered in pure white snow, the snowflakes were falling down from the sky. It was white, cold, and clean. She reached out and a snowflake fell on fingers. She peered at the hexagonal snowflakes and they gradually melted between her fingers. There were only a few people who lived in the community and thus, the roads were deep in snow.

She had worn low-heeled shoes today, so the snow was too deep and might get her feet wet.

She hesitated, considering whether to go up and change her shoes, but it seemed that she didn't know where her shoes were. She had been working outside for several months and hadn't got her winter clothes ready yet.

Until she saw the footprints in the snow that the man had made, and she realized she could walk in the imprints to keep dry. 

The footprints were big enough to fit hers inside. As long as she stepped carefully, she wouldn't tread on the snow itself. She thought it would be better if he was taking the same path as her.

So that she could step on his footprints and walk forward step by step.

Lu Yi suddenly stopped and looked back, the woman who was wrapped in layers like a rice dumpling stepped on the footprints carefully as if she was afraid of the snow. Then he realized that she wore low-heeled shoes and he could see her ankle.

Don't you know that the weather is cold now?

He couldn't figure out why women were thinly clad in the winter. You should take care of your health, else you might catch a cold. He put his briefcase under his arm and stood in place. The snow fell on his shoulder from time to time and soon he was covered with white snow.
